Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kombination aus einem Seilkran und einer verfahrbaren Maschine mit Arbeitsgeräten auf einem Maschinenchassis und Bodenabstützungen, wobei die verfahrbare Maschine entlang eines Tragseils des Seilkrans verfahrbar ist.The invention relates to a combination of a cable crane and a movable machine with implements on a machine chassis and floor supports, wherein the movable machine along a support cable of the cable crane is movable.

Verfahrbare Maschinen mit Arbeitsgeräten auf dem Maschinenchassis und Bodenabstützungen, auch Auslegerabstützungen, zum Arbeiten auf befestigtem Boden und im Gelände, sind als Rad- und Raupenfahrzeuge gängig, auf deren Chassis schwenkbare Arbeitsgeräte wie beispielsweise Bohrgeräte, Rammen, Bagger, Kräne und Greifer angeordnet sind. Auf dem Gebiet der Forstwirtschaft sind als derartige Arbeitsgeräte neben Kränen und Greifern auch Fällköpfe und Harvesterköpfe bekannt, wobei die Harvesterköpfe zum automatischen Fällen, Entasten und Ablängen von Bäumen dienen.Movable machines with implements on the machine chassis and floor supports, including outriggers, for working on paved ground and off-road are commonly used as wheeled and tracked vehicles with swiveling implements such as drills, rammers, excavators, cranes and grapples on their chassis. In the field of forestry are known as such tools in addition to cranes and grippers Fällköpfe and harvester heads, the harvester heads are used for automatic felling, entastening and cutting trees.

Aus der US 3 850 304 A geht eine Vorrichtung zum Blochziehen mittels eines am Boden stehenden Radfahrzeugs hervor, das mit Hilfe eines Freigabe- und Rückholseils entlang eines Überkopfseils bewegt wird. Beim Ausfahren des Freigabe- und Rückholseils rollt das Radfahrzeug in die niedrigst mögliche Lage, beim Einziehen desselben wird das Radfahrzeug wieder bergan gezogen. Das Radfahrzeug weist eine Winde zum Heranholen von Blochen über ein Seil und eine Erdbewegungsschaufel auf.US Pat. No. 3,850,304 A discloses a device for pulling on a wheeled ground vehicle, which is moved along an overhead cable by means of a release and return cable. When the release and return cable is extended, the wheeled vehicle rolls into the lowest possible position; when it is pulled in, the wheeled vehicle is pulled uphill again. The wheeled vehicle has a winch for picking up bloches via a rope and an earthmover bucket.

Insbesondere Steillagen und nicht tragfähige Böden setzen diesen Maschinen natürliche Grenzen und überall dort, wo keine Erdbewegungen stattfinden oder stattfinden sollen, verursachen alle diese Maschinen immense Boden- und Bestandesschäden - in nichttragfähigen Böden können sie bis zur Arbeitsunfähigkeit einsinken und müssen geborgen werden.In particular, steep slopes and unsustainable soils set natural limits to these machines and wherever there are no earth movements to take place or take place, all these machines cause immense soil and stand damage - in non-load-bearing soils they can sink to inability to work and must be recovered.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, derartige Maschinen mit einem Seilkran zu kombinieren, sodaß die Maschinen entlang von dessen Tragseil in der Luft verfahrbar sind und nur zum Arbeiten zum Boden abgesenkt und dort abgestützt werden. Die Verwendung eines Seilkrans ergibt natürlich auch die Möglichkeit, zu verlegendes bzw. zu versetzendes Material, wie z.B. Rohre oder Stahlträger, über das Tragseil zum Einsatzort zu bringen oder abzuförderndes Material, z.B. Holz, vom Lager- oder Schnittort wegzubringen.The invention aims to combine such machines with a cable crane, so that the machines are movable along the support cable in the air and only lowered to work to the ground and supported there. Of course, the use of a rope crane also gives the opportunity to bring to be laid or offset material, such as pipes or steel beams, over the support cable to the place of use or abzuförderndes material, eg wood, away from the storage or cutting site.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine eingangs genannte Kombination somit dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß ein auf dem Tragseil des Seilkrans verfahr- und festklemmbarer Laufwagen vorgesehen ist, wobei zur Erzielung der Verfahrbarkeit der Maschine das Maschinenchassis mit zumindest einem Aufhängeelement zur Anlenkung des Maschinenchassis an dem verfahr- und festklemmbaren Laufwagen und zu dessen Abhängung vom Tragseil versehen ist, sodaß die mit Arbeitsgeräten bestückte verfahrbare Maschine entlang des Tragseils ohne Bodenkontakt verfahrbar ist und für den Einsatz der Arbeitsgeräte das Maschinenchassis über das Aufhängeelement zum Boden absenkbar und dort abstützbar ist.According to the invention, an aforementioned combination is thus characterized in that a traversable on the support cable of the cable crane and clampable carriage is provided, to achieve the movability of the machine, the machine chassis with at least one suspension element for articulation of the machine chassis to the movable and firmly clamped carriage and is provided to its suspension from the support cable, so that equipped with working devices movable machine along the support cable without contact with the ground is movable and for the use of implements, the machine chassis via the suspension to the ground and lowered there is supportable.

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann darin bestehen, das verstellbare Aufhängeelement durch eine Teleskopsäule auszubilden.An embodiment of the invention may be to form the adjustable suspension by a telescopic column.

Bevorzugt kann das Maschinenchassis einen Rahmen umfassen und kann auch eine Plattform bilden oder tragen.Preferably, the machine chassis may comprise a frame and may also form or support a platform.

Zum Arbeiten in Steillagen ist fast immer wesentlich, daß das Chassis in Horizontalausrichtung abgestützt wird - zu diesem Zweck können am Maschinenchassis oder am Rahmen zumindest drei gegenüber dem Chassis bzw. Rahmen in zumindest einer Ebene schwenkbare Bodenstützstreben vorgesehen sein. Diese Bodenstützstreben dienen vor allem zur Erzielung der Unverdrehbarkeit des Chassis in Arbeitsstellung und sind daher individuell betätigbar, und können insbesondere über deren Länge knickbar und vorzugsweise teleskopisch ausgeführt sein.To work in steep slopes is almost always essential that the chassis is supported in horizontal alignment - for this purpose, at least three opposite the chassis or frame in at least one plane pivotable floor support struts can be provided on the machine chassis or on the frame. These ground support struts are primarily used to achieve the Unverdrehbarkeit of the chassis in working position and are therefore individually actuated, and in particular over the length of bendable and preferably be performed telescopically.

Als weitere Möglichkeit der Feinausrichtung des Chassis bzw. des Rahmen kann in weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung dessen Verschwenkbarkeit gegenüber dem Aufhängeelement - und somit auch gegenüber dem Tragseil - vorgesehen sein.As a further possibility of fine alignment of the chassis or the frame can be provided in a further embodiment of the invention whose pivotability relative to the suspension - and thus also with respect to the support cable.

Wie bereits ausgeführt, sind unter der Definition Arbeitsgeräte alle solchen zu zählen, mit denen am oder im Boden gearbeitet werden kann, auf den das Chassis abgesenkt wird - als Beispiele für Arbeitsgeräte im Felsgelände sind neben Rammen und Bohrern daher auch Steinfräsen und Steinsägen zu erwähnen, die in der Kulturtechnik vor allem dort eingesetzt werden, wo die Festigkeit des Untergrunds erhalten bleiben muß, z.B. wo Lawinenschutzkonstruktionen zu verankern sind.As already stated, under the definition work tools are all those with which can be worked on or in the ground, on which the chassis is lowered - as examples of tools in the rocky area are therefore next to rammers and drills also stone cutters and stone saws to mention which are used in cultural engineering especially where the strength of the substrate must be maintained, eg where avalanche protection structures are to be anchored.

Es können die Arbeitsgeräte über einen schwenkbaren Ausleger mit dem Chassis oder dem Rahmen verbunden sein.The implements may be connected to the chassis or frame via a pivoting boom.

Vorteilhaft können am Ausleger ausfahrbare Bodenabstützungen vorgesehen sein.Advantageously extendable floor supports can be provided on the boom.

Weiterhin kann bevorzugt sein, daß der Seilkran mit einem gegenüber dem ersten Laufwagen am Tragseil verfahrbaren zweiten Laufwagen versehen ist, von dem ein Aufnahmekorb abgehängt ist.Furthermore, it may be preferred that the cable crane is provided with a relative to the first carriage on the supporting cable movable second carriage, from which a receiving basket is suspended.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung liegt vor in Form eines Geräts zum Fällen, Entasten und Ablängen von Bäumen in Steillagen oder auf nicht tragfähigen Böden mit einem Harvesterkopf als Arbeitsgerät, der über einen Ausleger mit einer Teleskopsäule verbunden ist, die von einem am Tragseil des Seilkrans verfahr- und festklemmbaren Laufwagen abgehängt ist und im Bereich ihres anderen Endes einen Rahmen trägt, an dem zumindest drei gegenüber dem Rahmen in zumindest einer Ebene schwenkbare Bodenstützstreben vorgesehen sind.Another embodiment of the invention is in the form of a device for felling, entastening and cutting trees in steep or non-stable soils with a harvester head as a working device, which is connected via a boom with a telescopic column, which travels from one to the supporting cable of the cable crane - And clampable carriage is suspended and carries in the region of its other end a frame on which at least three opposite the frame in at least one plane pivotable floor support struts are provided.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung anhand von Beispielen näher beschrieben, wobei als eigentliches Arbeitsgerät der erfindungsgemäßen Maschinen ein Harvesterkopf dargestell ist und die Fig. 1 und 2 schaubildliche schematische Darstellungen erfindungsgemäßer Geräte bei der Arbeit nach dem Erfassen eines Baums durch den Harvesterkopf vor dem Fällschnitt sind.In the following the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawing with reference to examples, as the actual working device of the invention Machines a Harvesterkopf is dargestell and Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective schematic representations of inventive devices at work after detecting a tree by the harvester head before the Fällschnitt.

Am Tragseil 1 eines Seilkrans läuft ein klemmbarer Laufwagen 2 mit einem Zugseil 3 und vom Laufwagen ist eine Teleskopsäule 4 abgehängt, die an ihrem anderen Ende einen Rahmen 5 trägt, der sich über 4 hydraulisch betätigte Stützstreben 6 am Boden abstützt. Das Arbeitswerkzeug ist ein am Ende eines Kranauslegers 7 angeordneter Harvesterkopf 8, wobei eine seiner beiden Klemmrollen 9 deutlich zu erkennen ist. Weiterhin erkennt man einen zweiten Laufwagen 10 mit eigenem Zugseil 11 samt abgehängtem Stämmekorb 12 zum Abtransport der geharvesteten Stämme 13. Der Harvesterkopf ist ein bekannter Rollenharvesterkopf mit zwei vorschiebenden Klemmrollen, 2 Messerpaaren und einer Fällkettensäge am Ende samt integrierter Längen- und Dickenmessung oder ein Schubharvesterkopf.On the support cable 1 of a rope crane, a clampable carriage 2 runs with a pull rope 3 and the carriage is a telescopic column 4 suspended, which carries at its other end a frame 5, which is supported by 4 hydraulically actuated support struts 6 on the ground. The working tool is a harvester head 8 arranged at the end of a crane jib 7, one of its two clamping rollers 9 being clearly visible. Furthermore, it can be seen a second carriage 10 with its own pull rope 11 together with suspended trunks basket 12 for the removal of geharvesteten trunks 13. The Harvesterkopf is a well-known Rollenharvesterkopf with two advancing Clamping rollers, 2 pairs of knives and a coulter saw at the end with integrated length and thickness measurement or a shear harvester head.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 ist der Rahmen 5 fest mit der Teleskopsäule 4 verbunden, die gegenüber dem Laufwagen 2 nur kippbar, aber nicht verdrehbar ist, sodaß auch der Rahmen 5 gegenüber dem Tragseil 1 immer gleich steht. Der Kranausleger 7 ist über ein Führungsrohr 16 an einer Plattform 14 angelenkt, die samt der Arbeitskabine 15 und den Antriebsaggregaten hydraulisch um die Teleskopsäule 4 - somit auch gegenüber dem Rahmen 5 - schwenkbar ist.In the embodiment of Fig. 1, the frame 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic column 4, which is only tiltable relative to the carriage 2, but not rotatable, so that the frame 5 is always equal to the support cable 1. The crane boom 7 is articulated via a guide tube 16 to a platform 14, which together with the work cabin 15 and the drive units hydraulically to the telescopic column 4 - thus also with respect to the frame 5 - is pivotable.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Ausführungsform, bei der die Teleskopsäule 4 über ein Getriebe 17 schwenkbar mit dem Rahmen 5 verbunden ist und gegenüber dem Zugwagen 2 eine festklemmbare Drehlagerung 18 aufweist. Wie gemäß Fig. 1 ist der Kranausleger 7 gegenüber der Plattform 14 und der Arbeitskabine nicht horizontal verschwenkbar.Fig. 2 shows an embodiment in which the telescopic column 4 is connected via a gear 17 pivotally connected to the frame 5 and relative to the carriage 2 has a festklemmbare pivot bearing 18. As shown in FIG. 1, the crane boom 7 is not horizontally pivotable relative to the platform 14 and the work cabin.

Zur Justierung des Rahmens 5 gegenüber dem Tragseil 1 wird dieser in der Luft bei festgeklemmter Drehlagerung 18 gegenüber der Teleskopsäule 4 verdreht, abgesenkt und mittels der Stützstreben 6 am Boden fixiert. Dann wird die Klemmung der Drehlagerung 18 aufgehoben, sodaß über das Getriebe 17 dann die Einheit aus Teleskopsäule 4, Plattform 14, Arbeitskabine 15, Kranausleger 7 und Harvesterkopf 8 gegenüber dem Tragseil 2 und dem Rahmen 5 horizontal verschwenkbar ist.To adjust the frame 5 relative to the support cable 1 of this is rotated in the air with clamped pivot bearing 18 relative to the telescopic column 4, lowered and fixed by means of the support struts 6 at the bottom. Then the clamping of the pivot bearing 18 is released, so that via the gear 17 then the unit of telescopic column 4, platform 14, work cabin 15, crane boom 7 and harvester head 8 relative to the support cable 2 and the frame 5 is horizontally pivotable.

Auftretende Kippmomente des erfindungsgemäßen Gerätes am jeweiligen Arbeitsort können über die Stützstreben 6 und die Teleskopsäule 4 durch Beladen des Stämmeaufnahmekorbes am zweiten Laufwagen ausgeglichen werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Gerät ermöglicht eine Holzernte im Winter. In dieser Zeit entstehen die geringsten Bestandesschäden und es besteht die günstigste Holzqualität.Occurring overturning moments of the device according to the invention at the respective working location can be compensated for via the support struts 6 and the telescopic column 4 by loading the Stämmeaufnahmekorbes on the second carriage. The device according to the invention enables a timber harvest in winter. In this time, the least damage to the existing stock and there is the cheapest wood quality.

Wie bei Maschinen gemäß dem Stand der Technik dient auch bei den erfindungsgemäßen Maschinen das Chassis als Träger für den Energielieferanten, in aller Regel eine Verbrennungskraftmaschine, die einen Elektrogenerator, Pumpen wie Kompressoren oder Hydraulikmotoren, und/oder mechanische Antriebe oder dgl. in Abhängigkeit von deren Funktion anspeist. Der wesentliche Unterschied ergibt sich dadurch, daß die Verfahrbarkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Maschinen über deren Abhängung vom Tragseil eines Seilkrans gegeben ist, die Überwindung von Bodenhindernissen also in der Luft erfolgt und ebenso der Zu- und Abtransport von zum Arbeiten nötigen und beim Arbeiten anfallendem Material zur und von der Maschine. Hiezu wird am Tragseil des Seilkrans mindestens ein (bergan und/oder bergab des ersten Laufwagens) zweiter Laufwagen über jeweils ein - vorzugsweise eigenes - Zugseil verfahren und von diesem(n) Laufwagen Transportbehälter abgehängt.As with state-of-the-art machines, the chassis of the present invention also serves as the carrier for the energy supplier Usually an internal combustion engine that feeds an electric generator, pumps such as compressors or hydraulic motors, and / or mechanical drives or the like. Depending on their function. The main difference arises from the fact that the mobility of the machine according to the invention is given by the suspension of the rope of a cable crane, the overcoming of ground obstacles thus takes place in the air and also the supply and removal of necessary for working and accumulating during work material for and from the machine. For this purpose, at least one (uphill and / or downhill of the first carriage) second carriage on each of the - preferably own - traction cable moved and suspended from this (n) carriage transport container on the supporting cable of the rope crane.

In der Zeichnung sind Maschinen mit Steuerkabine dargestellt - es ist jedoch auch daran gedacht, Maschinen mit Funkfernbedienung vorzusehen, sodaß beim Arbeiten sich keine Bedienungsperson an Bord der Maschine befindet.The drawings show machines with control cabs, but it is also intended to provide machines with radio remote control so that no operator is on board the machine when working.
